Angry parents called on nursery director Catherine Naughton to offer an explanation as to why the nursery had shut its doors.

Elizabth80 said: “You would think out of sheer common decency there would be a statement released to the trusting, hardworking parents left in the lurch with no nursery place. Not to mention the poor children left with no nursery to go to, a place most if not all loved!

“It is disgusting, there is no other word for it.”

On Tuesday Mrs Naughton refused to reveal why the nursery had closed and told the Birmingham Mail: “I have the right to close it - that’s my decision.”

One parent said she’d been left saddened after the sudden closure meant she was unable to thank ‘wonderful’ staff for all their work.

“The whole situation has been handled in a terrible way,” added Loislane.

“Firstly I just want to thank the staff for all the fantastic work they did with the children.

“All the staff are wonderful, caring people and I could not have wished for better care for my child. I really hope they all find new jobs soon.

“I’m very upset we did not get a chance to say this to the staff themselves or the children had a chance to say a proper goodbye.
